Edna Martinez Presents Pico: Sound System Culture from The Colombian Caribean. Berlin-based Colombian DJ, producer, and curator Edna Martinez presents a sonic journey into the electrifying world of Picó_the vibrant and dynamic sound system culture that has defined the streets of Cartagena and Barranquilla for decades. More than just a musical movement, Picó is a way of life, a bold expression of identity, community, and resistance. From its roots in the working-class neighbourhoods of Colombia's Caribbean coast to its deep connections with Africa and the Caribbean, this compilation captures the pulse of a culture where music is played at full volume, rhythms travel across oceans, and dance is both a form of celebration and storytelling. Strut presents an extensive compilation compiled by Edna Martinez digging deep in to Colombian Picó sound system culture. The album showcases rare Afro-Caribbean tracks, highlighting the deep musical exchanges that shaped champeta and verbena culture. Tracklist includes picó `drops' and exclusive edits by Edna Martinez. Featuring extensive liner notes by Edna Martinez in both Spanish & English, vintage and contemporary photos of Picó soundsystems, and design by Felix Godefroy across 2 x Vinyl LPs, CD or Digital.
